Implementation

Rafte & Company's team of legal IT experts can take responsibility for your firm wide implementation of workflow solutions. In many cases, we encourage law firms to critically and realistically assess the capabilities and limitations of their existing systems because many will not support the current generation of software applications.

Whether your firm is implementing an incremental change or adopting an entirely new technology application, we will lead the plan to procure, install, upgrade, and customize your software and hardware.

Among the biggest practical challenges law firms face is selecting and procuring the best mix of technology to meet their unique legal IT needs. Rafte & Company can help your firm select and implement appropriate cost-effective hardware and software systems to realize the requirements identified in the firm's strategic plan. Specific services include:

• Identifying requirements and priorities;
• Discovering viable alternatives; and
• Guiding the firm through the selection process, including preparing requests for proposal and specifications, identifying vendors, answering questions, reviewing proposals and making recommendations.

Our goal is to implement a good, stable system that helps the firm prevent the need for crisis management.

Recognizing that each firm's needs and processes are different, Rafte & Company works with each client to customize a plan of implementation to maximize efficiencies and minimize disruptions of normal business practices. We examine the way the firm operates and then work around the normal work schedule – often focusing the majority of our implementation activities on nights and weekends.
